Paleo customer "Z" showed up at the farmers' market again. He's five weeks into his paleo challenge. He's supposed to avoid foods that a paleolithic era (Stone Age) person wouldn't have eaten. So, for instance, no bread nor cheese nor butter - as those are from the neolithic era. Tubers (potatoes) are fine. Meat is fine, of course. Plant oils are not, and margarine is totally out.

Basically, with the exception of butter and cheese , he's eating what the Hungarians in the black and white photo ate.

I agree. I love lard and I make it myself and we eat lots of it, kids love it.. : ) I see your location is in Auburn. Do you ship pork scraps? anything dealing with bones, fat, pig feet etc...? grassfed pigs i assume, they look awesome for some homemade stew... : )
